Appion Valve Core Tool Tips and Tricks
😂 is all i have to say.
Great catch
How can I find capacitor size if the condenser label is gone and the compressor label is old weather aged.
@@halfsleep3554 Should be on the capacitor
@@HVACinSC had to rip off the original sticker and look at the smaller one
Capacitors usually go bad from a few main causes, very old, leaking, overheated, Over voltage or bad connections. Even though you found those bad wires by the air handler I would still check the voltage at the compressor fan to see what the voltage is because nothing kills an electrolytic Capacitor faster than over Voltage condition.
@@alfredocuomo1546 The wires at the AH have nothing to do with the capacitor as the video and description state. The video is literally advising techs to do more than just change the capacitor. In other words... Check the entire system. 🙄🤔👍
@@HVACinSC Agree or as my Son would say "Anything worth doing is worth overdoing." I was just suggesting that a clogged condenser could cause the fan to to cause an overvoltage condition at the Capacitor.
@alfredocuomo1546 Yes, as I tell my techs in training, there are many reasons a capacitor can fail, and about 75% of the time, it's not "just a bad capacitor."
@@HVACinSC Great teaching, leave no stone unturned. Words for the next generation of technicians with the right work ethics. Nice job & video.
Or you can just buy a quick release 😮
@lynnprince6635 Or pay attention and see this video is from 7 years ago, which was before quick releases were available for anything other than automotive use. 😮🙄🤦♂️
The problem is the repair people take advantage. A new capacitor costs $20. The capacitor replacement plus system check costs $330.
What price do you think is a fair price for a company to pay a technician to drive a fully stocked, fully insured van to your home to check a system and replace a capacitor? It's costs my company (out of pocket) over $100 for a technician just to drive to your home. This doesn't include any additional time and materials. That's just to show up.
Thanks for the videos, great content👌 Why don't you care for ductboard?
Thanks! The Ductboard falls apart/deteriorates easily. Blows fiber glass particles throughout the property, then once wet, it becomes a petri dish. Metal is just an all-around superior option. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Thank you, and wise words 👍 Au
High static water pulling off the coil ?
@@zacherytoone9957 No
@@HVACinSC I have a slant coil doing it I didn't see the water stains like yours just looks like it's literally getting pulled off the coil, maybe its a dirty coil or maybe its missing those things I'll have to look next time. The customers filter was wrecked and had the fan on high I changed the filter and turned it down we will see what happens. Noted it's been super humid here I live humidity is an average around 15 and has been in the 40-60s from monsoons
Your country uses speed nuts… lose wires cause fires
@@fargogemini694 We use split bolt connectors. Wire nuts on high voltage is a problem waiting to happen. As I show here.
nailed it
As a homeowner, I don’t have the tools or skill set to diagnose all of the things you mentioned. I do have a multimeter and can check the capacitor. If it’s bad, I’ll swap it and move on, saving hundreds of dollars. If it’s good, I’ll call a tech and pay. What’s wrong with that?
Threedog1963 This video has nothing to do with homeowners or what they want, or should try and fix themselves. My videos are for people in the HVAC industry, as the description states.
Run...... run fast and never look back !
We ran from this job 6 years ago...
Heck no. When your capacitor is going out you need another motherboard. I would replace a few other things to make sure your motherboard is running as it should
@MrHailteam "Motherboard"? 🤦♂️ Spoken like a true novice. 🤣 I guess that's obvious with you searching capacitor videos.
Great job
OMG. I’m about to give up. But luckily I’m was just curious if someone have the same problem. Thank you sir.
And when it fails after warranty…all the savings and super go out the window instantly! Super not worth it!
@tonyd4346 Nobody should be selling or buying these units to "Save Money" That's where uneducated people in this industry go wrong.
fyi every thing u point out have nothing to do with the heat or cool not working right the only thing u need to do just get the zone dampers to work right that will be it what’s the return box will do if the have 16 inch flex going right to the back of the unit what deferent that box going to make also if they use the 24 volt of the air handler transformer or separate transformer longer or shorter flex u really need to work on ur technical skill before u go around post videos with false information also do u know why thy don’t have a bypass u actually don’t need a bypass in the variable speed air handler because you will always have a sensor it would read the static pressure just friendly advice do some more homework
FYI, you are either "special" or have zero understanding of airflow, psychometric, zoning, the list goes on. Just a general moron I guess. I can tell you're a tool carrier because I show the model of the AH, and you still claim its variable speed. I've have clueless kids in my HVAC class like you every year. But at least they learn. Hopefully you will. 😂
@@fatimanasser9812 Be sure to "correct" my other videos. This could become very entertaining to share with my techs and installers. Hours of fun.
Good guy keep going
I’m going to need some explaining on how refrigerant charge can effect a capacitor.
@03heritage03 Very simple. A system low on refrigerant will run much longer than a properly charged system. Longer run times mean increased wear and tear on components. Increased wear and tear means increased potential for pre mature failures.
Hey bro why you don’t show the brazing video 👎
@freddieanvari9660 Hey bro because I have a dozen brazing videos already 👍
Swap out the capacitor and charge $320, done
I hope the person who made the mistake, sees this. I'm gonna look for the dropped screw every time now.
Should that blower fan be clean once in a while? I'm sure mine is dirty.
Where did you purchase your pan? I need a 17-1/2 x 20-1/2” evaporator coil fan.
From the manufacturer
I just did daikin fits & love them. This inverter technology is wild
Great video!
I was "gifted" a 20 year old portable air conditioner with a busted capacitor (largest of 3 in the unit and with the highest uF rating--30uF to be specific). I ran it for a few seconds and while the fan was running, I could hear a "hum" but it didn't sound any louder than other a/c's that I've used before. I turned it off to cleanup and found the coils both on the condenser and evaporator were about 75% covered with 2-3mm thick lint and dust that peeled off like soft paper towel. My question is, aside from the one busted capacitor, does it make sense to replace the other smaller capacitors as well (one is 4uF and the other 8uF)? (I tested both with a multimeter and found they were 5-10% below the rated uF ratings printed on each".)
But it was the capacitor! 💯
@buckseed But did you watch the video? 💯
Register the unit for the 10 year warranty. Surge protection. Once the inverter board acts up or the communication board goes bad, things get expensive fast.
@@1966impala100 Not our first rodeo. We've been installing inverter units since 2006. 👍
My blades have a lot of rust spots all over the blades. I rinsed and used fan blade cleaner. Lots of dirt came off, but still this rust or rust like stuff will not come off. What should I do?
I don’t know how Chillwell is allowed to advertise. It’s a total scam and the claims it make outrageous and just not possible no matter how smart the guy is. Oh yeah and the guy never worked for NASA. It’s a simple swamp cooler and nothing they show in the majority of the add is even inside this thing. No frosting copper just an Evaporative media and a fan. It’s complete BS. How is RUclips allowing this scam artist to advertise or will they accept anyone’s money no matter what?
airflow and refrigerant doesnt have anything to do with failed start components
@vegasman77704 Who said anything about a start component? First, figure out what components to what. Then, I can explain how airflow and refrigerant issues can cause RUN capacitors to fail prematurely.
Yeah sometimes you wonder if its worth it to replace an old unit for new one. Just for efficiency.
@keithanderson6166 Almost nobody replaces their unit just for efficiency. People replace their systems when the unit has surpassed its life expectancy and/or the required repairs would not be cost-effective to invest into an old system.
What was the cause of wires melting?
Thanks great video and a big help really appreciated.
Do those units still use the four wire communication as well as the double thick condenser coil. I know the older high efficiency two stage models did. Not many people sell carrier in our area so I mostly work on Trane variable speed.
I think it's a good idea to do regular maintenance if for no other reason than to visually inspect for problems before they get to be big, but how would the wiring on the inside unit effect the fan capacitor outside? The only thing connecting the two is the contactor that is electrically isolated, right?
First house I ever bought (new home 1993) had a trane heat pump. First winter my electric bills were outrageous compared to my neighbors. The builders HVAC contractor came out several times and could find no problems. The unit was freezing up and the heat strips were running all the time. I finally took matter into my own hands and found the installers guide left with equipment. Super easy to check defrost function. You shorted to test points to force the defrost relay to energize. Failed the test. I went and bought a new defrost control PCB and fixed myself. I was so happy it was fixed i left the contractor a message to let him know i fixed it and asked for him to reimburse me for the board, which was like $30. I was not mean or belligerent or bragging, just happy it was fixed. He called my wife while I was at work and cursed me six ways to Sunday. Soon as I got home went to his office and confronted him which resulted in him getting punched out after swinging at me. That was my very FIRST experience dealing with HVAC company!
Thanks for sharing 👍
Good tips! A visual inspection should always be done at the minimum! As you can see. Thanks!
If the 20 dollar capacitor doesn’t work I’ll call you. I’d rather save money
I wish he could've gave some more information about what was going on . I can stick my head under the cow and say yup thems tits . But not explain how to get milk .😮
Good job
She sounds like shit and then I look at the amps yeah shit😬
I put in the Bryant version;)
On jobs like this.. where the lines are routed in such a way that it's not easy to run a new line if needed.. I usually pitch to the customer (or GC): that I want to put TWO sets of copper lines in the wall there.. on initial construction. And you just cap them on both ends and then you have that cheap insurance that you can use the other lines if anything goes wrong. It's only 20 to 30 ft of copper.. which is a lot cheaper than all this tear out and patching by multiple contractors... I do it with plumbing and wires too if the situation is hard to access. If it's hard to route and in a weird spot.. I run it twice. :) You can't believe how great it feels when you have to use that other line because something went wrong (which is rare).. and you're so glad you put it in there ahead of time... I don't do it for free though. The customer will usually gladly pay for it, because it's cheap insurance that can save them 10 years later hanging pictures on the wall. or whatever else..
@calholli Yes, in some instances. Not this one. It's almost never an option for exterior linessets on a custom home project. It's also almost never an option when dealing with private HOA developments. HOAs around here decline exterior linessets on a daily basis. In this specific case, the subs were at fault, and this is what the GC requested, so that's what we did. Makes no difference to me. We've been in business for over 50 years. We have seen and done it all.
@@HVACinSC Right on... The wrong GC can make headaches for everyone... I get it. I ran a crew building houses for years myself. You can blame it on the subs.. but the GC hired them.. :) Cheers
Awesome video 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
Thanks so much for this!
Great video...great advice.
:) i'm still waiting to hear him explane how a refrigerant charge issue would cause a dual cap to fail :)
Low refrigerant charge = Longer run cycles Longer run cycles = More stress on components More stress on components = Higher potential for pre mature failures. :)
